Birth: Journey Through the seasons with Mika Rock Mika Rock
-
- Para toda la familia
Everything fertility, pregnancy, birth and early parenting. Accompany me on the streets of Montreal, as fall turns into winter.
We will have the chance to find confidence in any weather!
Along with the outer seasons, I will invite you to take a closer look at the seasons of the child bearing years.
Where rapid changes can be experienced like a soft breeze, for some, or may be as challenging as as a wild storm, for others!
(Or maybe both!) In each cycle, a theme will be woven into the process, and I will bring stories, knowledge and tools to support you on your birth journey.

Birth: Journey through the seasons #12
Birth story healing through the lens of Somatic Awareness.
Your personal experience in the early postpartum period matters. In a short period of time. Your body's goes through a huge change!
From being pregnant, to giving birth to not being pregnant... How supported and understood you feel during this transformation.
Will impact your confidence and your ability to take care of yourself and your newborn.
You can support your healing, by giving yourself time to tell your birth story to someone that can offer you a safe non-judgmental space.
But sometimes it's not enough. When trauma has been experienced during birth. The nervous system can get stuck in an incomplete response. This can show up as feeling numb or maybe constantly experiencing a sense of unease.
With Somatic experiencing, you can learn to understand how your nervous system naturally functions.
With the support of a Somatic Experiencing practitioners. Your nervous system can find it's way back to regulation. Uncovering over all more vitality and aliveness.
Give yourself this gift, explore your way to narrate and integrate your experience of giving birth and becoming a parent.

With the gentle practice of Core Breath you can start to support your healing right after giving birth!
Birth: Journey through the seasons #8 With the gentle practice of Core Breath you can start to support your healing right after giving birth!
It was -8 and snowing when I went out for my weekly walk in wintry Montreal today.
As a doula and Yoga teacher I'm often asked.
When can I start practicing Yoga after giving birth?
With Core Breathing you can start gently to practice in the first hours and days after giving birth.
To join a postnatal Yoga group the recommendation is to wait at least 6wk post birth after a vaginal birth. And 8 wk after a cesarean. To first have had your follow up with your midwife or Dr. And most importantly that you feel that your interested and ready to join. I also highly recommend, before joining any group class. To schedule an appointment with a pelvic floor physiotherapist.To understand your individual needs. Supporting your healing with gentle Core Breathing right after birth. Will set the foundation for sustainable pelvic floor health for years to come.

Birth: Journey through the seasons #7
The benefits of core breathing during labour and birth.
During labour and birth your body knows how to breath!
The breath techniques that you can practice are great as an anchor. That can be helpful in the moments where you need a way to cope or find your way back to being present with your body. Join me on my walk to learn more about core breathing during labour and birth and the many benefits of practicing a breath that focuses on the sync of the pelvic floor and breathing diaphragm.
